Challenge

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI, was down in his basement one day when he noticed a tiny crack in the wall. He thought nothing of it, until the week later when he was back in his basement and spotted another crack. The homeowner didn't know anything about foundation repair Eau Claire, WI. but he decided to do his research. Once he found our website, he claimed his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dustin L, was headed out to the home.

Solution

When Dustin arrived, he and the homeowner made their way down into the basement. After Dustin completed his evaluation, he was ready to make his recommendation. Dustin began by explaining that foundation walls are designed to withstand force from above, not from the sides. When the amount of pressure pushing on the wall exceeds the wall's ability to withstand it, a homeowner could see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom of the wall, or tilting in at the top. Dustin went on to say that the best solution to the pressure is to install our GeoLock anchors. These anchors counteract the failing process by anchoring the failing wall to the undisturbed soil beyond the home's foundation. After installation is complete, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner liked the idea of having a system that could be adjusted as time went on, and signed on the spot.

On the day of the installation, our team arrived at the home early in the morning. Our Foreman, Juan P, and his crew completed a flawless installation of 11 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Now, our customer can put his foundation worries behind him!
